Community Solar Exempt from EPC Requirements

Fantastic news for green-minded community projects is that they do not have to reach the band D EPC requirements of domestic and commercial properties to benefit from the highest solar rates available.

Community properties are often old church halls and other such buildings that are hard to treat with energy efficiency measures. 

By ensuring that such properties can benefit from solar to the maximum degree the DECC allows them to become centres for energy-education and examples in the local area - thereby promoting energy generation and frugality. 

Look out for our own upcoming community projects as community leaders take advantage of this announcement form December 2012.
